MY FIRST EVER (AND PROBABLY LAST EVER) CELEBRITY AD

Time Out New York’s Publisher comes to the agency to see ideas for outdoor ads promoting the magazine’s 10th birthday. And…I showed this ad. While it wasn’t one of the ones picked, I’m fairly confident it’ll find it’s way onto a wall in their offices. I so wanted to see it in Times Square, 100 ft. by 200 ft. would have been nice.

THE REAL WORLD, MADISON AVE.

Jaguar. Victoria’s Secret. Häagen Dazs. These were the juicy tasty campaigns I worked on way back when at the School of Visual Arts. First day at my first ad agency, I’m peeing my pants in anticipation of my First Ever Real Ad. Creative director walks in and hands me an assignment for a...Urine Analysis Machine.

WHEN BFI DECIDED to try to break up the mob trash cartel in NYC, They came to our agency to handle the advertising. Despite the fact that our office is right on the border of Little Italy, we took the business. This was the first ad in the campaign. Shortly thereafter, it was reprinted in a Fortune article about the NYC garbage biz.The mob’s response (allegedly)? Apparently lacking connections at Belmont, the HEAD OF A DOG was left on the Brooklyn stoop of a BFI executive.(GULP)(click ad for better look).

TIME GRAFFITI BILLBOARD

SO TIME has finished their graffiti-art ad on Houston St. right in my fucking billboard encrusted neighborhood. They’ve also offered up some possible Art School names for their project. Here’s my five minutes worth of Butt-head® Art School names for it:ART DRECKODuhDuhPost Bowel MovementNeo ShitismThe New Bad

BEANO JINGLE

An Ex once challenged me to write a jingle for beano anti-gas tablets in an hour. This was the result. Sung to "Mickey" by Toni Basil. She (not Basil) broke up with me soon after I left this message on her phone. Yes, I sang it.
